About this map

Lakeview sits on the edge of the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, a landscape where the valley floor meets the high peaks of the Centennial Mountains. This high-altitude terrain is defined by the Continental Divide, which separates Beaverhead County, Montana, and Clark County, Idaho. The area is characterized by significant hydrological features including Lower Red Rock Lake and several mountain lakes such as Aldous Lake, Hancock Lake, and Walking Fish Lake.

Mapping of the rugged backcountry reveals a network of primitive access routes and hiking paths, most notably the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. Names like Slide Mtn and Baldy Mtn underscore the dramatic topography found within the Targhee National Forest. Local drainage patterns are detailed through numerous creeks, including Odell Cr and Humphry Cr, which flow from the timbered slopes toward the refuge wetlands.
